When I read that there is a dying child in a movie, there can be an assumption that it may be too serious or sad, or too light-weight, or too much like an inspirational poster or something. This is none of those things; it's a good movie, OK to watch, even tonight when you don't want something "heavy." Also, no jarring PG13 images, violence or humor, which for me is a blessed relief. It has insect collectors, so there are a few walls and drawers with bugs on pins. I remember some objections to this in the reviews when it came out, although they don't really dwell on it.

A pleasant surprise! Starts out seeming a bit cheesy but really picks up once the characters reach the rainforest. I'm not usually into movies about terminally ill people, but this was pretty good. Loved seeing closeups of the insects and reptiles.

his life will be changed if he can just see and capture a rare Blue Morph butterly that inhabits the rain forests...so he persuades a leading Canadian scientist to take him and his mother on the mission.

William Hurt is outstanding in the role of an imperfect man who cares for the ill boy in a fatherly way...perhaps to undo the psychological damage he foolishly inflicted on his own daughter who he abandoned to continue his scientific pursuits. All the acting is exceptional but the real "star" is the Costa Rican rain forest itself. This film displays beautiful and moving pictures of this colorful world of insects, frogs, and plants. Although the plot is formulaic, the movie succeeds in touching our hearts and souls. I have no difficulty recommending it for the whole family.

The story is fantastic but the movie is made so bad. The movie is slow and boring. If you are a professional movie watcher :) better not to waste your time. I believe spiritual movies specially must be well made to send the message but as I said this one is not. You even can predict the end of movie after 5 min of watching.

It was not "predictable", as others mentioned, so much as too much stock photography of the rainforest flora and fauna. This was beautiful, even breath-taking, but it just didn't fit in (for me) with a narrative. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the movie! It would be a good choice for my young over nighters.

This story was just lovely. Inspired by a true story I had to wonder about the real story here, it is just so good.Miracles can happen when we believe and this movie inspires a wonderful belief of dreams coming true.A story of a boy with a brain tumour. He is inspired by a man who loves nature and makes movies about a blue butterfly. He is a scientist. The boy goes to one of his talks and the two meet.The man takes the boy and his mum on a trip to the Rain Forest to try and find a blue butterfly. This is their adventure. This tale touched my heart and Im sure many in the world will have similar feeling for it. If you belive in dreams and miracles come see some proof. If you dont then come see some magic......it really happens!

I first saw this movie after video taping it to see at a later date.Three days later, I watched it.As soon as I saw the boat on the muddy river, I said to my friend "I'll bet that's in Costa Rica".Having visited Costa Rica twice (2002 / 2004) it took but an instant to recall the scenic beauty of the country and it's wildlife.The story itself is a bit disconcerting because I feel that the director has provided the viewer with one or two unlikely events in the story, "for dramatic purposes".(Such as falling down the sink hole and their subsequent escape).(Just how DID they get out?).But,(I feel)even if the story line does seem a little far fetched, it is well worth viewing, even if only for the scenic beauty of The Republic of Costa Rica.I liked it so much, I decided to buy the commercial dvd of it. (Now I have not one, but two copies of this enlightening story.
